PHOTOS: Drought Returns to California as Lake Oroville Drops Dramatically Justin Sullivan / Getty 29 Apr 2021 California is on the verge of another drought, as the dry winter has led to alarmingly low water levels in Lake Oroville, one of the most important dams in the state. Gov. Gavin Newsom has not yet declared a drought for the state, but recently declared a drought emergency for Mendocino and Sonoma counties. The  Los Angeles Times notes that water levels at Lake Oroville, the highest dam in the country, “have dropped to 42% of its 3,537,577 acre foot capacity.” Photos taken by Justin Sullivan of Getty Images show just how acute the lack of rainfall and snowmelt have become:
